  • Zittel and Sosnowska at Schaulager

    Schaulager is currently showing work by Andrea Zittel and Monika Sosnowska. If you get a chance to go, you should.

    I particularly enjoyed Zittel’s design and architecture-related work.

    And Sosnowska’s Corridor is great.

  • Workspace of an artist…

    Just a quick note pointing to some snapshots I took on Saturday in Martin Gyger’s studio.

    I visited Martin Gyger's art studio

    I like seeing other people’s workplaces…

    Martin told me that he will be moving into a new workspace very soon, but before he moves out he’ll organize an exhibition. I forget the exact date but this should be some time in early September. And Martin says he’s planning to take part in this year’s Portes Ouvertes on 18th and 19th October.

    Martin displays much of his work on Flickr. His work is for sale. Contact him directly if you’re interested in getting an original or a print.

  • Puzzled

    This t-shirt text puzzled me this morning…

    ZIM
    TST
    ERN

    I figured it out after a while but at first I kept associating ZIM with Zimbabwe.

    I’ve uploaded two batches of snapshots to my Flickr stream. I’m a snapshotter at heart and I’m not spending much time correcting or editing my work (yet).

    Unhindered by talent or technical skills, I hope I can at least convey the fun I’m having. I particularly enjoyed Saturday’s photo tour with Diveangel.

    like the colours...

    BTW, there’s a Basel Flickr meetup planned for 27th July 2008.

  • Jet lag

    Last night was the second night that I couldn’t sleep cos of jet lag. Instead of trying to relax, I started googling for sites on combatting jet lag. One thing is sure, I’m doing it wrong. Apparently it takes one day of recovery for every timezone I crossed…

    My current strategy is to go out and get some sun.

    A couple of other links that I’d like to share:

    Cooking and gardening are subversive activities. An interesting video on food.

    There’s a Canon cam hack which I might try out (via TWiP).

    Found a site that offers video podcasts on CSS.
